A Maja Borealis!

It's great folly to want to be wise all alone

About Me


Some things I miss:
long phone calls from old friends,
flying a kite on the bluff,
a full moon over a frozen landscape,
skipping stones across the channel,
riding public transportation to end writer's block....
carefully crafted mix tapes,
late night dance parties to old records
& what it feels like to be the me I know I am without worldly obligation/responsibility.

My Interests

the luxury of time

Music:

varied and specific - need I say more.

Television:

LOST, Beyond the Break, the Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman, Lucky Louie, Jericho, Big Love - when does the new season begin anyone?

Books:

White Teeth by Sadie Smith; The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai

Heroes:

pioneers, people who don't give up their dreams, my husband, Iliamna and her antics, Riley is my fresh breath of inspiration
